Congressional members are publicly stating President Trump is not legitimate. Former President Obama supports mass protests, and mainstream media is in an outright battle with the Presidency. It has been two months since Donald Trump was sworn in as our 45th President. Members of Congress, political pundits, and major media outlets have been relentless in impeding or slowing down cabinet nominations, encouraging dissent, challenging executive orders and promoting conspiracies.
